Peristaltic Pump for Catheter Washing and Cooling

The 400/RX1 peristaltic
pump is ideal for catheter washing and cooling applications requiring
pressures to 100 psi or flow rates up to 80 ml/min, featuring ergonomic and error-free tube loading and unloading, a clear
guard for full view of pump operation and guard-open safety switch. The pump is
available to medical device OEMs as a complete plug-and-play cased pump or as a
panel mount unit.

With
no seals or valves, Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free
pumping and are easy to use. The peristaltic pumps are available with custom
configurations for fast delivery and lean manufacturing in applications including
irrigation, washing and cooling, vacuum
and aspiration, and reagent dilution and sampling.

The
400/RX1 peristaltic pump achieves high pressure by using precision machined
components and a spring loaded track to maintain occlusion of the tubing under
high pressure. All fluid being pumped is completely contained within the
tubing, so cleaning the pump is as simple as replacing a disposable tube-set. The
pump has a unique cover/loading lever that lifts the track when opened to facilitate
loading of the disposable tubing. The tube loading procedure is intuitive and
fool-proof, and there are no extensive tools, adjustments, or training
required. The cover comes with an integrated switch that can be wired to turn
the pump off when the cover is opened. When closed, the clear cover gives a
full view of the pump operation, and verification that the tube is loaded
correctly.

The
pump accepts tube sizes from 1/6 to 3/16 in. ID, and has four stainless steel
rollers for low pulsation of the flow stream. The rollers use low-friction ball
bearings for optimum tube life at high pressures.
